After the fairy tale roles have been swapped

The Cliff of the Sea, where the witches live

The witch likes to collect rare collections. It is said that the wooden house where she lives is full of strange and weird items.The witch can't go to the sea, but she needs the materials in the ocean to refine the potion, and the mermaid can help her collect the materials, so Dika and the witch got to know each other.

There is a potion in the world that can turn mermaids into humans, Dika heard from the witch.The witch has a weird personality, lives alone, and hates humans, but she is willing to talk to Dika about her refining methods for potions with various strange effects.

At first Dika didn't take it seriously, but recently he became interested in becoming a human, so he took the initiative to ask the witch for the potion to become a human.The witch narrowed her eyes at him, "You want to become a human?"

"Yes"

"Why, a mermaid roaming the ocean freely is obviously much happier than being a human being"

Dika said bluntly, "The person I like is a human being, and I want to get along with him day and night."

The witch immediately turned her face and scolded him for being blinded by love and being stupid, and then left angrily.

Dika was not discouraged, and asked about the potion several times, and the witch finally gave in. "Well, for the sake of collecting materials for me, I have that potion, but it's impossible to give it to you for free."

The witch has always been like this, she pursues an exchange of equal value, and every time Dika brings her the materials she needs, she always gives back the unique properties in the forest, regardless of whether these properties are useful to Dika.From the witch's point of view, the information she revealed to Dika about various potions was also an equivalent exchange with him.

Dika was familiar with the temper of witches, so he was not surprised by this. "what do you want?"

"I'll talk about it when I'm done." The witch has a weird temper, and it's useless to negotiate with her. If you want to ask her for help, you can only do it according to her heart.The witch first asked for Dika's fish scales to be used as materials for refining medicine, and then asked for some materials one after another. Dika gave them one by one, so he had to be patient and not rush.

One day, the witch told Dika that the potion was finished.Dika was very excited, but what the witch said next was like pouring cold water on his head. "What are you willing to give me in exchange for becoming a human?"

"As long as I have it, I can consider it."

The witch said to herself: "Mermaid tail? No, you can't form legs after cutting it off, a rare creature in the sea? Mermaid is already the rarest species in the ocean, I want a unique collection. Ah yes, you The process of getting to know that human and falling in love, I am very interested in how a mermaid falls in love with a human, I want your memory, the memory of you and the person you loved."

Can't it be changed again?

The witch said stubbornly, "I only want your memory, and use your memory in exchange for the chance to become a human being."

In this way, the witch made a deal with Dika, and when he saw Ino for the third time, Dika told Ino the whole process of the transaction.Dika also told the witch's address and the time required for the whole process. Dika said it in great detail, hoping that Ino could find him.

"I can't tell how many days it will take, and then I can become a human being."

Dika looked at Ino with a smile, "Didn't you always want me to become a human?"

"It's a pity that I exchanged my memory with the witch. I may not remember you by then. Come and take me, and I will enter the human world with you."

Ino was very confused. On the one hand, he hoped that Dika would become a human being and they would stay together forever. This was what he first proposed. On the other hand, he felt worried when he thought that Dika would forget about himself.

"After you hand over your memory to the witch, will you not be able to remember it at all?"

Although he wanted to deny it, Dika still didn't want to lie to Ino, "Yes, I left all my memories to the witch in exchange. Forget about life in the sea, forget that I was a mermaid, and forget about you."

"It's okay, we can meet again, write the story between you and me, and I will take you to my kingdom, human society. By the way, can't we exchange it?"

"The witch is a stubborn person. Since she said that she wants my memory in exchange, she will only want the memory. There is no way. Only the witch knows the way to become a human being."

Ino stroked his fishtail, calming himself down with the help of the rough and cold touch. He thought many times what Dika's life would be like after becoming a human, and he was not excited when his dream finally became a reality, but a little uncomfortable .

"From now on, you bid farewell to the ocean, don't you miss it?" Ino couldn't help imagining the scene after the golden fish tail turned into legs, whether the scales are still there, whether it will be golden skin, whether the fish tail will be divided into two parts from the middle Uneven, the two legs are not the same thickness can be troublesome.

The tail of the fish wrapped itself around Ino's ankle, allowing him to touch it. The tail is the most sensitive part of the mermaid. It controls the direction, speed, and senses temperature changes in the water.It can be said that the role of the tail is no less than that of human legs.As if a small electric current stimulated the nerves in the tail, Dika took a deep breath, the fish tail hooked Yinuo's legs, and there was a "crash" sound, and the two slid into the sea.

The two often played like this. Dika lay on his back in the sea, controlled the strength, and Ino could lie in Dika's arms without contact with the sea water.The two were skin-to-skin, intimate, and whispered to each other.

Dika held Yinuo tightly with one hand, and swam with only one hand and his tail. "I will show you the scenery in the sea for the last time."

Yinuo didn't speak, but kissed him back, and waited until the kiss was over before saying "You don't want to"

"Reluctant to leave the sea, in fact, it's also good for you."

"I have made up my mind, and I am even more reluctant to leave you."

"Consider what I said before, we can build a large pool in the palace, and move the animals and plants in the ocean into it, just for you to live in"

Dika laughed, "The ocean is bigger than your palace."

Amidst the gossip and frolicking between the lovers, time passed quietly, the sun was westward, and it was time to part.

The next time we see each other is to go to the witch's hut. Dika loses his memory and becomes a human being. The two can get along day and night, without the trouble of meeting each other like they are now.

"I just don't know whether I like the hello who became a human being after losing the level, or the hello who remembers me now." Nothing is perfect in the world, Yinuo and Dika joked a few words, and gradually relieved, Dika kept saying that it was because of him In fact, it is not only him who wants to become a human being, Dika also hopes to get along with him day and night.Thinking about it carefully, he taught Dika every bit of being a human being, and it seems good to create new memories belonging to the two of them together with him.It's not all bad after amnesia.

After returning to the palace, Ino had to make some preparations in advance. When Dika told him, he had other plans and didn't have much free time, but nothing was more important than Dika becoming a human.

As the days passed, Ino was busy with the business at hand, and went to the cliff of the sea where the witch lived, a forest-covered highland near the sea.

There are few people here, and no one would have thought of coming here if they hadn't known that the witch lived in advance.Ino knocked on the door outside the wooden house, stood still and waited for the door to open

The witch's skin is pale, there are no fine lines around her eyes, she is neither old nor ugly, she just cannot tell her age.

"Come in, the mermaid told me about you. I've been waiting for you to see him, but you haven't come."

"How is he, has he become a human?"

"No, but it's almost finished, if you come a step later, he won't remember you."

Passing through the witch's front room full of strange bottles and jars, the back of the room was suddenly open and spacious. Ino saw a transparent water tank half a person's height, the liquid inside was turbid, showing the red color of blood after coagulation, as if it was full of impurities.Dika leaned his head against the edge, his eyes were closed, and his long blond hair was hanging down.

"Dika—" the mermaid remained motionless and did not respond

Fear filled his mind, Ino had worked hard to find time, he should have come earlier

"He's still alive, just fainted from the pain. You see, he's about to wake up." The witch came slowly and said.

As if hearing their conversation, Dika opened his eyes. "Ino?"

"I'm here" Eno had never seen such a weak Dika, with a mermaid body and a fit body, and Dika rescued him from a shipwreck with only one person's strength. He could never imagine what Dika's weakness looked like.

"It's a good thing you came. These days I wonder if you won't come."

Ino put his hand on his forehead, and the warm temperature came, which was higher than the mermaid's body temperature before. Is this about to become a human? "I'm sorry I'm late. I'll definitely come if I promised you."

"Ino..."

"Well, I'm here."

Dika called his name repeatedly, as if confirming his existence, and Eno answered patiently over and over again.

When he got closer, he saw that there was indeed blood in the clear water, and there were scales suspended in it, and Yinuo's heart ached.

At this time, the silent witch seemed to see Ino's question, "The process of turning a mermaid into a human is not easy. It looks bloody, but it is actually a pain that must be experienced."

Dika raised his head, his eyes were blank, and he whispered something. After listening to it several times, Ino finally heard that Dika was asking who the mermaid was.

The witch took away the memory of the mermaid in an exchange of equal value to satisfy the wish of the mermaid to become a human being. Ino was still angry. The witch insisted on taking all the memory and would not leave him with some?

"Oh, I forgot to say, the memory I took away in sections, I just took away his memory about his own mermaid a few days ago, and he took away your memory a long time ago, but he still remembers your name and remembers being a human being." Afterwards, a man named Yinuo will come to take him away, who is Yinuo, and who he is, I don’t remember at all.”

"I didn't expect it either. I thought he liked an ordinary human being, but it turned out to be Prince Ino. I planned to let him stay with me as an assistant if you didn't come. I just need someone to help me with my work." son."

Ino suddenly thought of something, "Witch, Dika told me that you want something unique, right? That's why I chose his memory. I'll trade my singing voice for his memory."

The witch looked Ino up and down, as if re-acquainted with him, "You have a natural singing voice, yes, my heart is moved, but there are many beautiful voices, and the memory of the mermaid and the prince's love is only one, and I will not change it."

"You can make Dika think of me again."

The witch was used to being ruthless, and said lightly, "That is your own business. I am only responsible for turning him into a human being. You not only have the past, but also the future. How he lives in the future is completely in your hands."

Dika has been in a semi-comatose state, and often waits until he can't stand the pain before waking up. Remember to say that it hurts, and remember Ino. Whenever he calls Ino, Ino responds.One day Yinuo couldn't help asking him who Yinuo was, but Dika couldn't answer with blank eyes, "My name is Yinuo, and Yinuo is my name." He pointed to himself and emphasized, "Your name is Dika, remember well”

Dika thought about it again in his mind, but he still didn't know, so "Are you Yinuo?"

"Um"

"I don't remember you, why did I call your name? Remember you will take me away?"

"The name is just a pronoun. If you like me, you will remember my name. If I like you, I will come to take you and me back."

"Where to go?"

"The place where I live is the place where we will live together in the future." Yinuo described the palace and the royal city to him, picked interesting things, and tried to express it clearly and straightforwardly.It is equivalent to presenting that part of his life to Dika. I didn’t talk about it in such detail before, but now I tell Dika in detail to lay a good foundation for adapting to future life.

So Eno began to tell Dika about the not-so-good things, whether Dika could accept it or not, these were all part of his future life.

Dika's sleep time gradually shortened, and he often cried out in pain. Ino talked about the palace and his own affairs, and could distract his attention and ignore the pain. The problem is that time is the most indispensable thing now. He broke the affairs of the kingdom into trivial pieces, and then talked about the daily food and clothing. There are too many things to deal with.

Ino said everything he could think of, commonplace and easy to ignore. These are not interesting. What is interesting is Dika's different reactions after listening. Ino observes Dika with great interest, and then tries to interact with him as before. .

The mermaid's hands and legs must be soaked in the potion until the transformation is complete. Dika listened to Ino's words the whole time, and he was allowed to fiddle with it.Ino imperceptibly emphasizes the special relationship between him and Dika. After returning, he will see many human beings, only they are unique to each other.

Judging from human standards, Dika's appearance is also impeccably perfect. Although Inogui is a prince and no one dares to pry a corner, it is inevitable that Dika will fall in love with other people in the future. It's not that he doesn't trust Dika. It's just in case, don't blame Yinuo for being too thoughtful, there is nothing wrong with taking precautions before they happen.

Dika can already distinguish the names of himself and Ino. Dika is himself, and Ino is the man he sees every day when he wakes up.It’s just that he also forgot about the witch. Ino heard him ask who the witch was, “The one who made you forget me.” Ino was very grateful for the potion invented by the witch. It was the price exchange that made Dika lose his memory. Forget it, people like witches are unreasonable.

"But I think the witch was taking care of me after all, before you came."

Enoch paused, "That's because she still wants to use you. The witch can't find anyone to use as a test product for her. She's draining your remaining value. I'm the only one in the world who will treat you without reservation."

Ino said something, and asked Dika to repeat: "Ino belongs to Dika, and everything that Ino owns also belongs to Dika. No one will treat Dika so well except Ino, and Eno will only treat Dika in this life. Dika is good alone, Dika confessed to Yinuo first, Dika said that he will love someone in his life, Yinuo believes in and likes Dika, and agrees to grow old together, life and death. "

It was time for the witch to change the potion again. After checking, she said that her legs had grown back and she could walk on the ground.At first, Dika was not used to walking down-to-earth, and fell down after a few steps.It took a lot of time just to practice walking. After procrastinating again and again, Yinuo finally set off on this day and returned to the palace with Dika.
